Hello Everyone,
I am making the switch from an evo3d to a new S4 and I can not figure out how to import my SMS export file from the evo3d.
Is there not a way to do this without installing apps? If I need to install something what works best? I have tried to figure it out and have searched xda with no luck ( I have just found iphone specific stuff).
Thanks!

SMS Backup+ works really well for me. It backs up your texts to gmail and will allow transfer from gmail to a new device. I transitioned from my Evo3D to my S4 without any difficulty.
I use an app called "super backup". Backs up SMS and call logs as well as bookmarks and calendars.
I use go backup.
It lets me have the backup on drop box or Google drive

Titanium Backup Pro. It will be the best investment you've come across for our phones.
Thank you Everyone!
I just used Super Backup that gharlane00 recommended. The fact that it was made by an XDA member was pretty cool. It was quick and easy to migrate SMS, Call logs, Calendar, and Contacts. I am not sure the best way to do app data now...for example my GF has a good draw something run going and I dont want her to lose her stuff...nor my Plants versus Zombies standing , lol...
Again thank you to everyone for there help!:highfive:
This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore worked so well I bought it. Just adust the settings so it saves to external SD card and import on the new phone and you're good to go. Don't forget to change settings in the new phone's SMS program to not auto delete texts and it will keep a long history of texts. Backs up to XML. Sometimes there are duplicate messages but that's not a big deal. I periodically back up my texts to card then delete them to free up resources. Highly rated app.

Have you tried the smart switch?

Hey guys. i'm about to dive into toasts rooting method and that raises the question of backup. currently i'm running titanium backup but i'm not sure if it also backs up my contacts, call logs and SMS history.
what do you guys recommend i use as a full backup solution?
thanks!
Spritebackup or titanium... sprite is more user friendly while titanium is more custom imo
Um using titanium..very nice

You can export your contacts from your contacts address book, push menu >> import/export. Otherwise, as long as you saved your contacts to Google instead of Phone..they will come right back once you log into Google.
I backup my SMS messages with an app called sms backup by Christoph Studer. You can backup all your messages to gmail. They won't transfer back to the phone...but that isn't something I would do anyway. The messages are accessible through gmail after using this... plus it is automated once you set it up!

I've used it and it good. It will back up everything sms and all. I use titanium back and sms backup. The good thing abought titanium is you can back up updated apps one at a time after the have updates not the whole thing. MybackupPro you have to backup everything again and that can get old.
Try out wave secure as well....
I am looking for a backup application that will backup to my PC whenever I plug in the data cable. Does anyone know of an application like that?
What do you guys use to backup your SMSes &/or call logs? I found these two:
SMS Backup - backs up your messages to a Gmail label:
http://lifehacker.com/5458083/back-up-your-sms-messages-to-a-gmail-label-on-android
SMS Backup & Restore - backs up your messages to an XML file on the SD card:

Anyone use any of these or recommend something else for backup?

I'm not rooted, I'd prefer to stay stock if possible.
I use SMS backup. It does not give me any problems. All you got to do is enter your gmail account and password once and it does the rest.
Just found this one too, SMS Backup+:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sms-backup/com.zegoggles.smssync
Looks like its been updated more recently than the other one. Anyone use this one?
I use XArchive. Very simple, very easy to use.

If you use the paid version of Handcent, they offer online backup of settings and SMS. I'm not sure about how much they want for it.
I love SMS Backup and Restore. Simple and does exactly what I want.
You can try MyBackup Pro. Don't know what it costs now. I caught it for .99 cent a while back.

I use WaveSecure to back up SMS, contacts and locate my phone if lost
https://www.wavesecure.com/
SMS Backup & Restore. It's free and saves your texts into a nice xml file.
A few more questions:
1.) The ones that put texts in Gmail, do they create a thread for each text or put a certain number in a conversation or how does that work? I text a lot, so that might get hairy quick.
2.) The options that automatically backup - is there a service running at all time or does the backup occur at an interval? I'd hate to lose battery by something connecting to Gmail every time I got a text, rather than bulk upload or scheduling.
3.) Finally, if manually backing up, is each backup incremental or is a whole new XML or new Gmail conversation created? Is the software smart enough to know what was backed up previously?
4.) MMS supported?
Thanks for the help folks, and keep the suggestions rolling!
I'm loooking for something similar as well. I've tried several different apps from the marketplace, and a few did their piece well, but didn't do everything I want. I've tried Titanium Backup, and to be honest, I don't really like it. "Backup Everything" does a pretty good job for everything except generic files (SMS, MMS, Phone logs = ok, Files {angry birds data} it can't do), although I'd like to be able to automate it. I've been using Astro to handle backing up of apps because I'd rather back them up seperately from the data.
Contacts, calendar & mail messages don't matter because they're on my Exchange server, so the SMS, MMS phone logs and angry birds data is really all I need to back up. To SD is fine, Dropbox wouldn't hurt though. Does anyone have any suggestions for an app that fits my needs?
Hey everyone, I'm considering coming from a samsung Vibrant to this, because I like the screen size, camera flash, and Android seems to be stable (super ram froyo) but I have a couple of questions
Will I be able to restore my text, and call logs via mybackuppro, and retrieve my contacts via the google account? I was also wondering if it's worth coming from a vibrant to an hd2? Just need some help, or advice.
Also could I restore some apps on the hd2 from the vibrant using Titanium backup?
-Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.
Thanks everyone who helps!
I've used both and prefer the hd2 but you might need to experiment with the builds.
There are apps to back up your sms and google contacts will automatically transfer with your account.
Sent from my HTC HD2 Android
To backup apps just use titanium backup and select batch and then all user apps.
To backup SMS download SMS backup and restore from the market.
If you've got a Google account, try logging into your gmail account from a computer then go to people and check I'd your contacts are saved. if they are then they will auto sync with any other phone you use.
Hope this helped.
Okay I was just making sure, I always use T-backup for apps, and mybackup pro for sms.
Is everything the same such as putting things in folders, and the phone being able to read it? And another big factor is GPS, does that work?
Gps works, but takes a little bit longer to get a lock sometimes (still quite usable)
And T-Mobile backup works too, just like on any Android phone. As far as backin up n restoring with Titanium, just batch backup apps n data, then transfer the Titanium Backup folder from your current sd card to your HD2's sd card, get Titanium from market, n batch restore
I highly recommend the HD2, its like 2 yrs old, n still just about the baddest phone on the block
Sent from my... whatever
Awesome Thank you, I'll pm you if I have more questions if thats cool?
Ps: The hd2 i'm trading for has miui rom on it, have you tried it, is it stable? Or which build do you prefer?
I love modding but hate having to enter my passwords, load the apps again, set the ring tones and calendar reminder tones etc etc.
I am looking for a way to save all that info, so that when I load a new ROM I can run the app and Google is there and has my passwords. My 3 email accounts are set up and ready to go. Ring tones and reminder alerts are set up. Home screen is set up. etc etc etc
A tall order I know, but there are a lot of modders and I am sure they are just as frustrated, or maybe they have the solution already??
Please share if you do! Many thanks in advance.
I'll answer my own question, after reading some of the posts on this and other places.
I believe that the Backup program included with MIUI Darkside mod will do what I want if I select System and App backups.
There is also Titanium backup which is an all singing and dancing app that does the same. For now I am trying the included free Backup.
I will report back if it does what I wanted on my next Mod.
Thanks for reading.
Mybackup Root is a consideration. That is what I use for going between ROMs.
You have APKs + data if you want, and then you also have a data section just for mms etc... but I have never used that, I just sync contacts with google and forget the rest.
Not sure of the difference between MyBackup Root and pro versions but root is free ...
At any rate, with a couple of clicks I can just leave the app restoring everything ... you could try it along with your other backup, doesn't cost you anything ..
I find it fast and less cumbersome than Titanium although I only used the free version.
Hey
I was looking for a simple way to import all my WhatsApp data from iPhone to the new oneplus 5 and just can't find something. Does anyone knows how I can do that ?
Thanks !

I am not an iPhone user, so what i say is only theory.
If you backup on icloud and the file/folder structure for the backup is the same as is on android, you could just paste the whatsapp directory into your root android folder and then install whatsapp.
Alternatively, if you have access to the whatsapp folder you could just copy that to your computer and then move it to the oneplus 5.
On Android phones , to migrate whatsapp i simply copy the whatsapp folder after making a current backup on the source phone,moving it to the destination phone and then install whatsapp. it is able to restore all data and media.
Good luck!

Have a look on the comments in there - it's a scam. They tell you to backup to iCloud then delete(!!!!) the app on iPhone (==removing all messages fro the phone) and then magically they say that the android phone will be able to get the backup from iCloud.
In reality they want you to buy the product because it is capable of restoring the messages somehow(which you just deleted them)

thanks, didn't read the comments.
the whole whatsapp iphone to android thing seems to be complicated in general as of reddit. The reddit post/comments show a few solutions though.
Use Wazzap Migrator. I used it like 4-5 years ago when I switched from iOS to Android. Works like a charm.
Code:
https://www.wazzapmigrator.com"
Used iBackup Viewer to extract the ChatStorage.sqlite file from an iPhone Backup I made and Wazzapmigrator to restore it on my phone, did cost me like 3 bucks but worked really well!
Updating that I used wazzzap migrator. I needed to create an iTunes backup then find a software which can extract data from the backup file (this the hard part) . The wazzzap worked like charm (very easy) though cost a few worth-the-money $ for chats and media as well.

ANSWER:
1. Log in and back up your data to Google Drive
2. Download the file from the apple account.
3. Rename the file to match the backup on the google drive account and upload it and "Over Write" it.
4. Re-sync your whats app.
** Just my 2cents.

Dear, you just need a tool of whatsapp transfer like Doctor Telephone iPhone Data Recovery, it has a option which can help you to resolve this problem. Good luck
I've never tried to do this but can't you just set up the in-app backup and let it backup to Whatsapp servers? Then one you install WhatsApp on the new device it should ask you to restore all backup data.
in short, whatsapp is crap. Use telegram instead with smarter people
Yeah, transfer data between iOS and Android is usually difficult for us. Luckily this dr.fone can help to transfer WhatsApp chat history from iPhone to Andorid, including the OnePlus 5.

Hi, up to now it is impossible to transfer whatsapp between iphone and android unless you use some third party software such as wazzapmigrator, dr fone whatsapp for whatsapp, itransor for whatsapp,etc. These software applications can let you transfer whatsapp messages from iphone to android but they are paid software. If you want to know how to operate specifically, you can search a post via google by typing "techtiertips whatsapp from iphone to android"
